"O God, our God, how excellent are your counsels" - 17 May 2015 PM

O God, our
God, how excellent are your counsels; and faithful are you in all your actions.
We pray for your church throughout the nations that you would lead them in
their decisions, direct them in their actions, and prosper them in their
ambitions that they are undertaking in line with your will. Please give patient
endurance to our brothers and sisters who are being hounded and harmed for the
faith; deliver them from the slanderous tongues of their prosecutors and from
the smashing hands of their abusers. And may they stand tall and unflinching in
the strength and might of Jesus your Son, the faithful martyr. O
Lord, hear our prayer.

We call upon
you to be with these churches; Community Christian Church; Crossroads
Church; Crown Heights Christian; Draper Park Christian; Edmond Christian; and
Forest Hill Christian Church; may they experience your grace in such
powerful ways that they might cast off all self-generated certainties and boast
only of you; and that they may enjoy your refreshing restoration as they are
drawn closer to you through your Son. O
Lord, hear our prayer.

Please help
this congregation as we seek to be faithful; especially as we gear up for our
work in Carnegie. Continue to provide all the monies, mental agility and
manpower, and grant that your work will prosper in our hands. Also, be pleased
to aid us in promoting your honor and intensify our love for one another. O Lord, hear our prayer.

We remember
before you those who need to repent of their sins and embrace your Son in
genuine faith…. Have mercy and save them. O
Lord, hear our prayer.

O Lord God,
prosper our country, which we love so much, but do not prosper that which is
evil or unjust. Strengthen all that is good and wholesome, but weaken and
defeat what is dark and destructive. O
Lord, hear our prayer.

We ask you
to lead the nations of the world toward the things that make for real peace,
and will allow for the peaceful progress of your Gospel throughout the lands.
We continue to ask you to care for those suffering in Nepal, and bless with
your compassion and protection the aid efforts going on there. O Lord, hear our prayer.
